We talk to a lot of folks at companies using fleet tracking devices to improve their operational efficiency. One way very smart way we see fleet tracking devices being put to use is as a means of reducing overall fuel usage. These companies are reducing their fuel consumption by monitoring the idle time of each truck and driver. If they can reduce idling time, they can reduce their fuel usage. It’s an idea that works, and that makes sense.
The math on savings is pretty simple. Let’s look at a scenario. Here’s a simple calculation for a fleet of 10 trucks:
Number of Trucks: 10
Size of Gas Tank: 20 Gallons
Avg. Number of Tanks Used Per Month: 4
Cost Per Gallon of Gas: $3.50
For this operator, the total monthly fuel cost equals (10 X 20 X 4 X $3.50). That’s $2,800 in fuel costs per month. By monitoring idle usage, we’ve seen companies reduce their fuel consumption significantly. Let’s assume just a 20% reduction in fuel use. That adds up to $560 per month. When you consider the monthly cost of the Linxup Fleet Tracking Device is just $24.95 per month, total month cost for the fleet is $249.50. By reducing fuel costs, the company generates monthly net savings of $310.50. That’s monthly savings just from fuel reduction without taking into account any of the other Linxup benefits such as GPS tracking, unauthorized usage management and more. Isn’t it time you consider a fleet tracking device solution? It’s an idea that makes good dollars and sense. Check out Linxup.com today to learn more.

Many companies have found that using GPS to track their company vehicles and employees is a useful tool for saving time and money. They no longer need to rely on employees calling in with their location to know exactly where they are at any given time. GPS tracking isn’t necessary for every company, but for some businesses it’s absolutely crucial. Here are 10 companies that use GPS’s to track their employees.
- Trucking – Large trucking companies have tracking devices installed on all their vehicles to monitor them at all times. This helps ensure that deliveries are made on time and that their drivers are using the most efficient routes. They can also determine if their drivers are staying within the speed limits.
- Law enforcement – It’s critical for law enforcement to know where their vehicles and personnel are at all times. When a crime is called in, they know instantly who is in closest proximity so they can be dispatched more quickly. GPS tracking is often used to file reports and conduct investigations.
- Construction – Many construction companies have numerous company vehicles used by their employees. They need to know that their vehicles are used for company business and not for personal uses. They also want to make sure their employees are where they’re supposed to be when they’re on the job.
- Taxi service – Dispatchers for taxi companies use GPS to know where their vehicles are so they can get the most efficient use of them. The time and miles between fares is greatly reduced and also keeps their drivers honest.
- Utilities – Companies that have field service workers like telecommunications and power companies also use GPS tracking on their vehicles. This makes it easier to keep track of their workers, especially those who have large service areas.
- Fleet owners – Any company that has a large fleet of vehicles, such as plumbers and electricians, need to track them on a regular basis. They have a lot of money invested in their fleet and want to make sure employees aren’t misusing their equipment.
- Sales – Businesses with field sales professionals use GPS to get driving directions and implement last minute itinerary changes. This saves time and increases productivity of their sales staff.
- Delivery service – Any business that delivers anything from flowers to packages needs to use GPS tracking to improve efficiency. Drivers no longer need to rely on incorrect or vague directions to make deliveries and owners know where their employees and vehicles are at all times.
- Transit – Whether its airplanes, buses or trains, transit companies rely on GPS to make sure they are on schedule. They also have automated systems that announce upcoming stops and inform passengers of the vehicles route number and destination.
- Limousines – Even the hospitality industry has found the value of using GPS for tracking their limousine services. This improves customer service and ensures navigable routes for their oversized vehicles.
Employees of these companies have expressed privacy concerns about these tracking devices, but most are unwarranted. Businesses have every right to protect their assets and prohibit employee fraud and abuse. The cost of the GPS tracking system is far outweighed by savings to the company. Employees must be informed of the tracking policies up front and know they will be held accountable for any misconduct. GPS tracking gives employers a useful and cost effective tool to manage their fleets and workers efficiently and effectively.

Six Reasons in-vehicle GPS Fleet Tracking Devices Trump Using Cell Phones for GPS Tracking
For many years if a company wanted to track their employees at a reasonable cost the only solution was to track the employee through their cell phone. While using a cell phone for GPS tracking is a workable solution, there are a number of limitations and challenges that make it problematic. An in-vehicle GPS tracking device such as Linxup provides a solution that addresses these shortcomings at a very affordable price.
Here are six reasons in-vehicle GPS tracking devices are a better solution than using cell phones:
1. Battery drain. When you use GPS tracking on a cell phone more than twice an hour, you can easily drain the phone battery before a normal work day ends. No battery = no tracking.
a) LinxUp GPS tracks the vehicle once a minute when the vehicle is on and even when the vehicle is off. Even with tracking a vehicle once a minute the vehicle battery never negatively impacted.
2. They can turn it off. If an employee turns off the GPS setting on their phone, or if they power their phone down, you cannot track their location.
a) If you opt for the LinxUp GPS wired solution, you can hard wire the GPS tracking device into the vehicle under the dash. This prevents someone from tampering with the device and disabling tracking.
3. Track the vehicle, not the phone. If you are concerned with driving habits and vehicle usage, an in-vehicle device is the best approach. A cell phone tracks where the phone is at, not where the vehicle is located.
a) The LinxUp GPS tracker is always in the vehicle, it can’t be left at home or turned off. And with real-time GPS tracking, Linxup even can help you to recover a stolen vehicle.
4. No calls to your IT person. Phone-based GPS tracking solutions are prone to software and device complications. Maybe a user can’t get the software installed. Maybe the software doesn’t work with their type of phone.
a) Using LinxUp’s in-vehicle solution removes this hurdle. The Linxup GPS tracker plugs into the ODBCII port of any light to medium duty vehicles 1996 and newer. And the LinxUp wired GPS tracking device works for any type of vehicle. It simply and it just works.
5. Avoid expensive data plans. Cell phone GPS tracking requires you to carry an expensive data plan in order for the solution to work.
a) LinxUp GPS tracking devices have the data plan already included, so you don’t have to worry about overage charges or finding a reasonably priced data provider.
6. No contracts. Cell phones require long, expensive contracts.
a) LinxUp real time GPS tracking devices require no contract or activation fees and is a month-to-month service.

Continue Reading »Fleet Management & GPS Tracking
GPS fleet tracking utilizes the Global Positioning System (GPS) to monitor and track vehicles in a fleet management company. To track the vehicle’s precise location, a GPS module is installed in each vehicle. The modules can also monitor a wide variety of vehicle information including speed, engine start up and shut down, routes and idling.
The information from each vehicle is then often transmitted to a remote user. Depending on the GPS fleet tracking system used, remote users can view maps of vehicle locations and routes or access available reports on vehicle status via the Internet or specialized software.
Business owners, fleet managers and dispatchers commonly use GPS fleet tracking to improve fleet routing and expedite dispatching. In addition, GPS can be used to monitor unwanted driver behaviour, reduce fuel consumption, prevent theft and provide various operational efficiencies. Many businesses find that these various cost-cutting benefits of GPS fleet tracking outweigh any costs for the system.
Linxup goes beyond traditional GPS fleet tracking to provide a variety of customizable manager reports that give managers the ability to gauge the effectiveness of their fleet in the field.

Linxup GPS tracking devices, are a key new, low-cost GPS tracking solution from Agilis Systems, a St. Louis-based provider of mobile GPS and workforce management solutions.
“We are big fans of the Linxup GPS tracking devices,” explains Jeff Haarmann, Sales Vice President at Nfuse Direct, LLC. “We send our sales teams out in vans each day to our different sales markets. Using Linxup GPS tracking, we are able to monitor when our teams hit the field and how long they are actively selling.”
Haarmann continues, “Recently, we were seeing a significant difference in the daily sales totals between our New York sales teams and our Ohio sales teams. Generally, Ohio had 50-75 sales on board before the New York team even got started. The New York vans were leaving at an appropriate time, but by reviewing the GPS data from the Linxup solution with the sales manager, I was able to show him that the teams were wasting a ton of time before they actually began selling. By applying that simple insight, we have seen sales in the New York market jump and they now match Ohio. The Linxup system is making more money for our reps, more money for Nfuse and more money for our client.”
